WILLIAM THEODQR STRASSER, OF DANBURY, CONNECTICUT.

NON-REFILLABLE BOTTLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 595,447, dated December 14, 1897.

Application filed July 28, 1897.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, WILLIAM THEODOR STRASSERJL citizen of the United States, residing at Danbury,in the county of Fairfield and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Non-Refill able Bottles; and I do declare the following to be a full,clear,and exact description of the in- Vention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to certain improvements in non-refillable bottles, and the object is to provide a simple, inexpensive, and practically efiective device of this class.

To this end the invention consists in the construction, combination, and arrangement of the several parts of the device, as will be hereinafter more fully described, and particularly pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings the same reference-characters indicate the same parts of the invention.

Figure 1 is a vertical section of the neck of my improved non-refillable bottle. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section on the dotted line 2 2.

1 represents the upper portion of the bottle; 2, the cylindrical neck; 3, the bulging chamber, and 4. the cylindrical mouth which receives the usual cork 5.

6 represents an internal cylindrical neckv formed integral and concentric with the neck 2, its point of junction therewith constituting a Valve-seat 7, upon which the ball-valve 8 rests when the bottle is in an upright position. This valve 8 is of such a size as to seal the valve-seat and at the same time have free play in the internal neck 6 to leave the seat when the bottle is tilted in the act of discharging its contents.

9 represents a separable cage encompassing the inner neck 6 and ball-valve 8, and when in place is permanently fixed in position between said .neck 6 and the chamber 3 by means of the radial pins 10 10, which are in serted from, the outside through the orifices 12- 12 in the base of the chamber 3, so as to engage the alined recesses 13 13in the annu lar flange 14 on the bottom of the cage 9,

Serial No. 646,259. (No model.)

where they are rigidly fixed in place by any suitable non-soluble cement, and as the outer ends'of these pins are left flush with the outside surface of the chamber 8 it is impossible to remove them when once in place.

15 15 represent a series of lateral horizontal perforations formed in the annular wall of the cage, and its upper end terminates in an integral "semicircular pocket 16, the inner face of which is formed with aseries of radiating ribs or corrugationsl'i, upon which the ball-valve rests when the bottle is inverted.

18 18 represent a series of radial horizontal perforations formed in the Wall of the pocket and between the corrugations to serve as airvents when the bottle is being emptied.

Although I have specifically described the construction and relative arrangement of the several elements of my invention, I do not desire to be confined to the same, as such changes or modifications may be made as clearly fall within the scope of my invention without departing from the spirit thereof.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. .A non-refillable bottle comprising the integral neck 2, chamber 3 and mouth 4?, and provided with the integral internal concentric neck 6 formed with the valve-seat 7, in combination with the ball-valve 8 and the per-, forated cage 9 encompassing said neck 6 and valve 8, substantially as shown and described. 2. A non-refillable bottle, comprising the cylindrical neck 2, the integral chamber 3 and mouth a, and the integral concentric neck 6 formed with the valve-seat 7, the ball-valve 8 engaging said seat, and the perforated cage 9 formed with corrugated pocket 16, and permanently fixed in place so as to encompass said neck 6 by the pins 10 10, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I hereunto affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

WILLIAM THEODOR STRASSER.
